A MUSIC VIDEO…WHAT?
As you know, I wrote A Council of Angels a couple of years ago. Then I knew there was more to the story so I wrote two more books – A Family of Angels and A Legacy of Angels. Oh, and a prequel novella – A Friend of Angels.
They’re all happy little inspirational fiction novels based on themes that include faith, hope, love, guardian angels, family history, and more.
To celebrate (and finally kick-start the marketing efforts), I thought, “What out-of-the-box thing could I do to get these books out there?”
Then it occurred to me, without giving away any spoilers, there’s a scene in A Legacy of Angels that’s very beachy together with music. So I took one of the poems in the book, and with the help of my very talented friend Jada Crofts, put together a simple, happy little song.
So we’ve got the song…we’ve got the music…
NOW WE JUST NEED THE SMILING FACES!
This is where you come in!
I’m going to be shooting a video in San Clemente and making a happy little video BUT I would like to include friends and family who want to participate.
To give you a very general idea of kind of what the video will kind of loosely be like…kind of…check out the video below.
HOW IT WORKS:
- Set up your phone or your computer’s webcam
- Have the lyrics handy
- Summon your best lip sync abilities
- Hit record, play the song, and sing along!
Note – you don’t have to sing the entire song, even just one clip or one part of the song will work.
IDEAS TO MAKE IT FUN:
- Make a sign with a message or word like love, faith, hope or a quote you like
- Dress up
- Shoot your video in your home or a fun location
- Be uniquely you!
Feel free to get as creative or funny or crazy as you want. The only thing is to do a sing-along so that I can synch you up with the right spot in the song.
Just think – lots of people (hopefully) are going to see this video and be exposed to the themes contained in these books (faith, hope, and love). How do you want to add to that?
HERE’S THE SONG WITH LYRICS BELOW…
Holding your hand and when you hug me tight
Light shining in your eyes, burning bright
We’re on a wave of love, and coming into shore
Together dancing, each day loving you more
And I’m so grateful you’re an angel,
An angel in my life
If I could choose, I’d end up just like you
Words on paper, become the truth
Circles in the sand, shaping a family chain
Linked by eternal love, forever stay the same
And I’m so grateful you’re an angel,
An angel in my life
Let me fly away with you
In my heart, always with you
And I’m so grateful you are an angel,
An angel in my life
You showed me how to always start with love
Every breath and moment, it’s not enough
When you leave, and fly so far from me
In my heart I hear, “love eternally”
And I’m so grateful you’re an angel,
An angel in my life
Let me fly away with you
In my heart, always with you
And I’m so grateful you are an angel,
An angel in my life
WHEN YOU’RE FINISHED:
Simply text or email me the video or load it up to Dropbox or Google Drive or whatever and share the file with me. I’ll be splicing all of the videos together for the final music video.
Then I’ll be putting the video together, and with your help, get these books out to the world! 🙂
